Porridge great with raspberry and bluberry
Hello
I am very new to the ins and outs of diabetes as I have gestational diabetes which has been diet controlled for the last month only. Have had only a few high readings in the last couple of weeks due to meals out and a few birthday celebrations but my dietician has given me a week to stablise my figures or she will look at insulin. Am needle phobic so have been very strict this week and figures have been great. However this morning I have had a lie in and breakfast in bed of porridge made with skimmed milk and a banana and my figures tested after 1 hour as requested to do this week was very high for me 12.1 I thought this was the perfect breakfast to have so where have I gone wrong? It was a largeish portion and a large banana and have been in bed ever since to no activity. Could this account for it or is banana one of those hidden things like orange juice that I need to be wary of?
Thanks
Definitely cut out the bananas. 4 slices of bacon and 3 fried eggs is less than 3 gms of carbs. And my cholesterol levels are usually below or at the low end of normal. So much for the bad press for fats and eggs.I too had this problem. Breakfast porridge and banana which I had eaten for years. When I started testing I was shocked at the high readings. I changed to eggs for breakfast instead. Maybe I should just cut out banana.
go to the meals on this site it states porridge is good...30g with fruit...that's why i did it...xHi banana full of carbs that would of sent u over the edge..
